Bad news this week! EVMS indicated in a letter that they would not be accepting me as a medical student. No matter that I knew I had a very small chance if getting in there, it was still disappointing.

Today I called the Wayne State admissions office for an update on my application and the woman I spoke with said that I was still on the wait list. I expect that I will be on the wait list for a long time and then maybe I will squeak in, towards when school starts, and maybe not. Meanwhile, we have decided to assume, for the time being, that we will be going to DMU. I am sort of relieved that the decision is made. I don't have to stress about whether I will get in here or there or whatever - I just have to get ready for school.

If we go to DMU, we will try to make arrangements to stay in our house, and maybe even put in an extra bathroom and two extra bedrooms. We'll have to wait and see, either way.

I called Wayne State University last week and was told I am still on the waitlist.

Last weekend I was in Virginia Beach and Norfolk for an interview at EVMS. It's the best school I have been interviewed at, yet. I expect to hear from them in another couple of weeks. My chances there are very, very slim, I think. But hope springs eternal!

The good thing, the very best thing...is that I am accepted at a school. It's a great school. I have a lot of friends who go there and one really good friend that graduated from there, it's just not my first choice. No matter what else happens, I will be going to medical school this fall.

Now I have to begin packing and getting the house ready to sell!
